24 Things

It’s that time of year again, friends. Today I turned 24 which ultimately is boring and uneventful because time is an illusion and I feel the same today as I did yesterday. But regardless of that, I want to share with you a list of 24 things I’ve learned this year. I’m killing it with these yearly posts. Gotta build that #brand. Anyway, without further adieu, here it is.

1. Be thankful
2. Forgive even if they don’t deserve it
3. If you are uncertain, ask
4. Breathe
5. If you’re stuck in a rut, challenge yourself
6. It’s okay to need time alone
7. Starting over is always an option
8. You won’t always feel this way™
9. Moving will always suck
10. Be patient
11. Listen before you speak
12. Don’t drink caffeine if you’re feeling anxious
13. Drink more water in general
14. You are not your limitations, weaknesses or illness
15. Asking for help, although difficult, does not make you weak
16. Sometimes you lose friends no matter how hard you try
17. Don’t waste time regretting mistakes, learn from them and grow
18. No one is perfect
19. Life rarely goes as planned
20. Question everything
21. Don’t wait to make the changes you are passionate about
22. Rest but don’t give up
23. Buy things you like even if others don’t. You’re your own person for a reason.
24. Be compassionate towards others as well as yourself.

What is the biggest thing you’ve learned in your lifetime?
